I am late in writing my article because I have been attempting to prepare for the anticipated Nor’easter coming our way.  A few quick items at the pharmacy, then distributing peelings outside for the animals, plus securing anything that might blow around.  It is amazing that there are still such huge clumps of snow in the trees.  Here’s hoping that the power outages are limited!

Not much news today.  There was considerable input at the recent Zoom meeting, with a wide range of opinions expressed about the proposed Airbnb regulations.  Clarification was requested and received about the tax collection issue.  Although the voter turnout was quite low last Thursday, both articles were approved, which will allow the Selectmen to appoint the Collector of Delinquent Taxes and to pay that person on a part-time basis.

Whether The Weather –

Lyrics from the internet

Whether the weather be fine, 

Or whether the weather be not, 

Whether the weather be cold, 

Or whether the weather be hot.

We’ll weather the weather, 

Whatever the weather,

  Whether we like it or not!
